Helpful Tips To Prevent Shark Attacks

If you're worried about getting attacked by a shark in Florida, there are ways to prevent shark attacks. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says attacks are extremely rare, but they do happen nonetheless. With this in mind, here are some helpful tips to help prevent attacks.

1. Always stay in a group. Sharks don't usually attack a group of people, but a solitary person.

2. Don't wonder too far from shore. This isolates you and puts you farther from assistance.

3. Avoid swimming during evening or twilight hours when sharks have an advantage over you.
